Centerless grinding ???

I have an application that requires a 1.5ID needle bearing to ride on a shaft, the shaft diameter is 1.40 OD. I'd like to make an inner race for the bearing. The OD of the inner race needs to be ground and hardened.

I've never seen the equipment for centerless grounding, can this be replcated in the home shop??

Of the OTS inner races I can purchase, the width is too small and the inner diameter is too small as well.
